Tamo E Tamero Composer(s): Claude Barzotti Performer(s): Claude Barzotti
J'ai tout essayé pour te plaire Les fleurs l'humour et la tendresse Contre nature en colère, j't'ai fait l'amour a la française Et ma dernière chance avec toi C'est une chanson italienne, pour que tu tombes dans mes bras Une chanson napolitaine
Tamo e tamero o per la vita, con la mente Tamo e tamero écoute l'Italie, ecout' et puis oublie Tamo e tamero le coup de la romance c'est ma dernière chance Tamo e tamero écoute l'italien, écoute et ne dit rien Dans ma voix de brouillard y a un curieux pouvoirs Tamo e tamero o
Non il n'est pas prêt de mourir Le vieux mithe de Roméo De l'italien qui sait séduire avec d'la musique et les mots Je ne joue plus infinita, tu me préfère an al capone En séducteur em mafioso, écoute je t'emmène a Veronne
Je te le dit a l'italienne coté jardin coté court C'est moi qui fait la mise en scène, c'est moi qui invente l'amour C'est drôle que ça ne se fait plus, et qu'il faut vivre avec son temps Mais tu sais bien que l'italien, chante depuis la nuit des temps
Tamo e tamero o per la vita, con la mente Tamo e tamero écoute l'Italie, ecout' et puis oublie Tamo e tamero le goût de la romance c'est ma dernière chance Tamo e tamero écoute l'italien, écoute et ne dit rien Dans ma voix de brouillard y a un curieux pouvoirs Tamo e tamero o Tamo e tamero o Tamo e tamero o Tamo e tamero o
Mr. Radio Man Composer(s): Cliff Friend; Ira Schuster; John White Performer(s): Al Jolson
Little broken hearted Sammy Sitting on his Daddy's knee Listening to the radio But his heart is breaking so Seems the angels took his Mammy Any wonder why he cries When his Daddy fell asleep Little Sammy boy would creep To the radio and cry...
Mr. Radio Man Tell my Mammy to come back home Won't you do what you can `Cos I'm so lonely
I've been listening here every day Since she went away But no word from Heaven's been heard Can't the angels hear me pray
When the sandman is nigh And to slumberland I must go I know she hears me sigh Over my radio
When the reason I'm crying And sighing, I'm all alone Mr. Radio Man Tell my mammy to come back home
Mr. Radio Man Tell my Mammy, my Mammy to come back home Won't you do won't you do what you can Oooh! I'm so lonely
I've been listening in every day Ever since she went away But not a word from Heaven have I heard Can't the angels hear me pray
When the sandman is nigh And to slumberland I must go I know she must hear me sigh Over my radio
Oh, and the reason I'm, I'm sighing And I'm crying, I'm so alone Mr. Radio Man, please Please tell my Mammy to come back home
Go Away, Mister Crocodile! Composer(s): C.W. Murphy; D. Lipton
At the break of day, as the sun's bright ray Shone upon the River Nile From the waters deep there began to creep Such a great, big crocodile And there on the banks a baby c**n played And she wished to play alone So she frowned on the crocodile, and shouted In quite an angry tone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile! Don't you wag your tail with glee Run and play, Mister Crocodile Kase you ain't gwine to play with me Go away, Mister Crocodile! I could watch you cry all day 'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"
Said the crocodile with a knowing smile "I have waited days for you, As on you I gaze, there's something says You'd be tender, if not true I love you so much that I could eat you, How I wish that we were one!" But she climbed to the branches of a palm tree And thus bade him begone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile! Don't you wag your tail with glee Run and play, Mister Crocodile Kase you ain't gwine to play with me Go away, Mister Crocodile! I could watch you cry all day 'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"

I hear the cottonwoods whispering above Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love! The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love! Does my darling feel what I feel When he comes near? My heart beats so joyfully you'd think that he could hear! Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of! Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go! The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low Tammy! Tammy! You love him so! When the night is warm, soft and warm I long for his charms! I'd sing like a violin if I were in his arms Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of! Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love!

Ognuno ha il suo tamburo un solo ritmo un canto della comune solitudine che noi mettemmo insieme a starci un poco accanto su questa via dell'abitudine
il tempo vince sempre il tempo lui soltanto si muove e noi restiamo immobili finché ci porta un suono atteso chissà quanto e ci promettiamo indivisibili
alberi che sfilano come persone care fantasmi della strada devi prendere o lasciare si comunque vada non come volevi battono i tamburi battono più lontani e' giusto così non chiesi mai qualcuno che comprasse la mia infelicità (tam tam tam) non piansi mai davanti alla tristezza ma versi l'onestà (tam tam tam)
dimmelo anche tu che il tempo non ci ha sconosciuto male e bene mio che dopo ti hanno amato meglio si ma non di più di tutto il poco che ho potuto io
vieni padre mio usciamo a fare un giro e guida tu e guarda avanti e non parliamo più albero padre con un ramo solo
e come tutto torna e come tutto passa le cose cambiano per vivere e vivono per cambiare il mare s'alza e abbassa
ed ogni giorno siamo dietro ad una cassa a dare il resto e poi sorridere un ballo senza fiato se la banda passa e finché non smetti di rincorrere
le storie muoiono quando c'e' più paura di perdersi che voglia di tenersi e com'e' dura quella soglia e come siamo noi i diversi cambiano le scene cambiano le battute e anche i battuti io non potrò incontrarvi in nessun luogo in nessun'altra età (tam tam tam) fermar l'urgenza del mio cuore il cuore di un uomo a metà (tam tam tam)
pensa amore mio che t'insegnai mille altri cieli e non seppi mai soffiarti il vento sulle ali aspettai un addio e il giorno di lasciarmi ti lasciai
credi figlio mio mi mancano i tuoi baci che non ho e sono i soli baci che io so piccolo figlio
e tu compagno dalle orecchie a punta io ti parlai di me come a un fratello a cui ci si racconta io non ne avevo e allora presi te e quella tua sgomenta e nostra malattia di vivere
giura amico mio che glielo metteremo ancora lì a questa vita che va via così senza aspettarci
Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man) Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Randy Newman; Saint Paul & His Coalition of the Willing
We've taken all you've given It's getting hard to make a living Mister President, have pity on the working man
We ain't asking you to love us You may place yourself high above us Mister President, have pity on the working man
I know it may sound funny But people ev'rywhere running out of money We just cant make it by ourself
It is cold and the wind is blowing We need something to keep us going Mister President have pity on the working man
Maybe you're cheap Maybe you're blind Maybe you have lost your mind Maybe you only think about yourself
Too late to run, too late to cry now The time has come to say goodbye now Mister President, have pity on the working man Mister President, have pity on the working man
Go All The Way Composer(s): Eric Carmen Performer(s): The Raspberries; and various other artists
I never knew how complete love could be Till she kissed me and said "Baby, please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
I couldn't say what I wanted to say Till she whispered, "I love you so Please go all the way It feels so right Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go"
Before her love I was cruel and mean I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been But now I've changed And it feels so strange I come alive when she does all those things to me And she says "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "Come on" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on) "I love you" (Come on) "I need you" (Come on)
Please, go all the way It feels so right being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close Don't ever let me go
Tamborine Composer(s): Prince Performer(s): Prince & the Revolution

Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro Sem Maria sequer Sem qualquer paradeiro Quando encontrou um samba Inútil e derradeiro Numa inútil e derradeira Velha nota de um cruzeiro
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Do semblante meio contrariado Que fazes parado No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado ``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Sei que antigamente era bem diferente Desculpe a liberdade E o samba sem maldade Deste Zé qualquer Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Cadê as batalhas Cadê as medalhas Cadê a nobreza Cadê a marquesa, cadê Não diga que o vento levou Teu amor até
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Meu marquês de papel Cadê teu troféu Cadê teu valor Meu caro almirante O tempo inconstante roubou
Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês Solidário na dor Que eu contei a vocês Menos que queira ou mais faça É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça Zé qualquer tá caducando Desvalorizando Como o tempo passa, passando Virando fumça, virando Caindo em desgraça, caindo Sumindo, saindo da praça Passando, sumindo Saindo da praça

Glück Ist Wie Ein Schmetterling

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich spür in deiner Nähe Wie gut ich dich verstehe Und wär so gern für immer Und alle Zeit bei dir
Doch wenn ich ganz alleine bin Und traurig und ganz klein bin Mit meinen dummen Träumen Dann sage ich zu mir
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich schaue in den Garten Wo tausend Blumen warten Das sie sich wärmen können Im Sommersonnenschein
Dann kommen bunte Falter Als ihre Unterhalter Doch bringt ein Tag nur Regen Dann bleiben sie allein
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du

Mr. Moon Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Last night Mr. Moon came calling He laid his silver just as sun was falling Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky So I pulled up close to the riverside Picked some sticks for firelight And sat and watched the sparks flying high
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked at my reflection Well I know I'm not so trouble free But on that night, I had to be The stars they commanded me to smile
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked on my reflection Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong But I got music for a little song When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night
